Myiase furonculoïde à Dermatobia hominis : diagnostic fortuit sur la coupe macroscopique extemporanée d'un nodule cutané

The diagnosis of furuncular myiasis is made primarily on clinical grounds and should be suspected on observation of an abscess in subjects returning from a tropical region. It is consequently rare to find D. hominis in biopsy specimens. In the present case, macroscopic examination showed an extremely rare image of the edge of the intact larva in a longitudinal cut, which to our knowledge has never been published to date.
